Executive Chiropractic of Iowa incorporates Cox Technic into the
West Des Moines treatment plan forWest Des Moines back pain relief. Cox Technic
research shows a 17% increase in disc height in addition to the 28% increase in area and a decrease
in intradiscal pressures to as low as a -192 mmHg.
(1) Traction effectively raises the disc height of lower
lumbar spine discs. (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa recognizes the good of this
increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used
in this West Des Moines chiropractic practice) eases
neuropathic pain, pain that goes into the legs that often accompanies low back pain. Neuropathic pain joining low
back pain is a pain! The fortunate thing is that non-thrust,
non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is regularly
utilized to manage low back pain. Just one
month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, lessens
pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain compared to those without leg pain. Fantastic news! A
new study with rats confirms that using Cox
Technic provides short-term pain-relief similar
to that in human clinical studies. (3) That is the reason Executive Chiropractic of Iowa chooses to use
it with our West Des Moines back pain patients!

Also, spinal manipulation affects
pain regulators in the nervous system like substance-p, neurotensin, and oxytocin
along with interleukin and cortisol (“the stress
hormone”) levels after treatment. (4) That’s a goal of West Des Moines
chiropractic treatment: to calm the nervous system
when it’s affected by pain.

Peculiar how recommendations are
always for someone else! A Canadian study shared
that, when asked, young adults recognized that
calcium is important for kids and older adults but not
how essential it was for them. (5) Calcium is essential
for all ages! Your West Des Moines chiropractor is ready to talk
just how important it is for you.
